#1.7.11

Today was the end of Vol 1; Book 7!

65 chapters read, 300 chapters left

Champmathieu gets a chance to tell his story. The story itself is of extreme poverty and difficulty making ends meet. Champmathieu relates his and his daughter’s story in one go, unsure of the words in such a huge court with everyone looking at him, that coupled with his way of telling the story, does not lead to the audience sympathising or caring about it.

Thing that has been bothering me for a day or so:

Was Madeleine trying to discredit the prisoner-witnesses in his proofs of knowing them? Except for Brevet, he seems to have zeroed in on things that will bias the court against the witnesses. 

Unless there's some symbolism I'm missing, Brevet's checkered suspender is neutral information... but JVJ does bring up Brevet's history in the galleys as part of his statements. Not that this is new information, but Brevet is the only one of the trio who is not a convict-for-life, and who's good behavior and religious practice have been brought up as relevant, semi-redeeming attributes. JVJ doesn't contradict that, but the galley mention could be read as an undermining reminder of his past. This is certainly the weakest angle.

JVJ's use of Chenildieu's self-made nickname is what really jumped out to me. This is a restoration-era court with a crucifix on the wall--choosing to bring up Chenildieu's atheism ("Remember how you nicknamed yourself 'I deny God'?") is an attack on his already-low respectability with the court. And the other identifier is that Chenildieu tried to burn off his TFP brand [marking him as a life-long prisoner, thanks @aflamethatneverdies]. On one level, this is useful to JVJ because it can be proved: Chenildieu either has the burns or does not. But, it also tells the court and jury that the witness has subjected himself to extreme pain in order to conceal the judgement of the law and possibly to prepare for breaking it again in the future (say, by escaping).

Cochepaille also has a convenient physical trait to reveal: a pro-Napoleon tattoo. A 100-days era pro-Napoleon tattoo. Definitely going to be well-received by a Restoration-era court.  

Blink and you miss it: JVJ's hair has gone from gray to white in the hour since he arrived in Arras.

Anyway, having made up his mind, Madeleine interrupts the court to demand Champmatheiu's release and declare himself to be Jean Valjean. For some reason, no one believes this, and so he offers personal memories of the three witnesses. Everyone's too shocked to do anything, however, so JVJ just... leaves.

But it did work.

I'm assuming Chenildieu's "T.F.P" brand/tattoo thing is marking him as a convict sentenced to hard labor for life. Anyone know more?
